Rankings Rewind: FC’s 25th overalls

With the 25th overall selection in the National Hockey League Draft, Future Considerations selects…

…Sven Baertschi

Though he has just 25 games to his credit, Baertschi has shown — at times — that he has the makeup of being an impact player for the Calgary Flames. After a brief audition as an emergency recall last season, the Swiss forward had an up-and-down rookie campaign in Calgary but finished with points in his final seven games of the season.

That streak has sparked optimism that the 20-year-old is able to parlay that into a strong start for the Flames next year.

For six seasons, Future Considerations has been bringing you the best in NHL Draft eligible content. To celebrate the NHL Draft — our sixth, we’re going back through our previous rankings to identify who was the best of the best at each pick, starting with all our 30th overalls and working to our top picks.
